interesting bike from Genuine Motorcycles - Page 4

Thanks for linking to your post. It's nice to have a hands-on review from someone who owns the bike.

My wife has a TU250x and loves it. I love its light weight, but to me it feels physically/ergonomically too small when I ride it. I'm 5 ft 10 with a 30 inch inseam. Does your Mash Roadstar feel like a small bike to you?

Hi

No, it doesn't feel too small, feels just about right, whereas the CF650, is a little high really, as I'm on tip toes when the bike is upright, and I'm 5'7", but I don't know how it compares in size & handling to the TU250.

Sorry, not so sure that was much help ??

I like the look of that bike! I'll have to start saving and try to find a shop near me that will stock these!

If that motor is xr400 based as someone else sugged, I want it in a modern chassis enduro bike ASAP! Even if its based on another air cooled Jap 400cc Thumper, I'd still like it.

I know SSR has a 450, but I'm pretty sure it's LC, I don't mind giving up a few HP for less parts to break on the trail. I'm also not a huge fan of the modern Japanese stlyle 4t MX engines, they can be quite expensive when things go wrong.

Agreed. I don't want a high-strung LC motor for DS riding. I'd much rather have a variant of the old XR400.

To get a better handle on the size between the TU and the G400C, I went to http://cycle-ergo.com. They have a model of the Honda CB400SS, that the G400C is based on, so I loaded up that and the TU250X to compare.

The CB400SS is slightly bigger than the TU and looks like it would fit me a little better. If the G400C really is like the CB, it looks like a good fit for me.

Are you ready to 'take the plunge,' and place a deposit for the bike?

If I had the money, I know I would!

Not quite yet.

I'm still debating whether to get this or a used Yamaha FZ-07. I'm going to sell my Vstrom 650 and I'm just trying to decide if I want to replace it with something retro or modern (and fast).

I'm actually leaning toward the FZ-07 this week, but I go back and forth all the time.

I need to see it on the showroom floor before placing a deposit. This is new territory for Genuine.

That's unfortunate.

Thanks for posting the update.

wheelbender6 · 03-19-2016, 08:18 PM

I hope the Genuine 400 goes on sale before the Elio trike, for cryin' out loud!

detours · 05-19-2016, 06:26 PM

I messaged Genuine on their facebook page for news on the G400C and got this response.

FRI 9:55PM

What is the latest news on the G400C motorcycle? I was excited about it last fall, but haven't heard anything since.

MON 9:07AM

It is coming soon! We anticipate delivery in August or September.
